Beth Piatote in Conversation With Peter Rock
November 1, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeBeth Piatote’s debut collection opens with a feast, grounding its stories in the landscapes and lifeworlds of the Native Northwest, exploring the unforgettable pattern of Native American life in the contemporary world. Told with humor, subtlety, and beautiful spareness, the mixed-genre works of Piatote’s The Beadworkers (Counterpoint) find unifying themes in the strength of kinship, the pulse of longing, and the language of return. Piatote will be joined in conversation by Peter Rock, author of The Night Swimmers and Spells.
